For Star Wars fans, Hollywood Studios is the only place to meet some of the franchise’s most beloved (or perhaps most feared in the case of First Order leader Kylo Ren) characters. While some of these characters can be found wandering through Black Spire Outpost in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, fans of the films cannot miss the meet and greets located inside Star Wars Launch Bay.
Inside Star Wars: Launch Bay, Guests can meet loveable characters like BB-8 and Chewbacca, along with one of the most iconic movie villains ever, Darth Vader.
